I’m switching from a 36C to a 32H after using the calculator. I got some new bras, and while the cup and band sizes seem mostly fine, it’s just not quite fitting right. My boobs keep shifting out of the cup towards the center, and the cup ends at my sides, lining up with the armpit area. I don’t have any breast tissue to fill the cup on the sides like that, and I physically cannot shift them that direction any more to fill it out. When I take the bra off and just hold up my boobs individually, the cup size seems perfect. I’m wondering if 32 is maybe too tight of a band size. It felt hard to clasp and was snugger than I’m used to, but I’m not really sure if that’s indicative of an ill-fitting bra or the fact that I’ve been wearing a much larger band than I should’ve for so long. These are still the best fitting bras I’ve had, but I’m just gonna have to stick with sports bras a bit longer until I can figure this out 😅
The bras I purchased were the Skims Fits Everybody Plunge Bra and the Weightless Scoop Bra. The plunge bra was the more comfortable of the two, but the cup issue was more pronounced. My breast tissue is all concentrated so far forward on my body that theres no way I could ever get it to sit in the sides like that. I had some difficulty getting the scoop bra on, but I think sizing up would be way too loose. I had the same issue with the cups in that bra, but it wasn’t as bad. The center of the bra was not hitting my sternum, but I think if my breasts were physically further apart from each other on my body then it wouldn’t be an issue.
I have a really hard time using the pinned resources to try and figure out how to best describe my shape. I feel like I have pretty even fullness with narrow roots. My breasts are also very close together. Here’s my measurements
Loose Underbust: 32
Snug Underbust: 31
Tight Underbust: 29
Standing Bust: 38
Leaning Bust: 40
Lying Bust: 38
Thank you!!
